Home Improvement Sales Trainer

We just opened our Charlotte office, the first Improveit market outside Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee in 37 years, and we're hiring the person who will build the sales team that carries it.
As our Outside Sales Trainer, you own the three-week initial training that turns new hires into Design Consultants. You prepare it, you facilitate it, you assess every trainee, and you make the call on who is ready to run a lead in a customer's home. You also own the onboarding experience end to end, partnering with HR and IT so every new rep walks into day one with paperwork complete, an iPad in hand, and a sales kit on the table. This is a teaching job with a scoreboard attached: how your graduates perform in the field is how your work gets measured.

Charlotte is brand new. Every rep who sells here will learn the job from you!

Who We Are

Improveit Home Remodeling has served homeowners since 1989. We specialize in replacement windows, bathroom remodeling, and kitchen remodeling, and after 37 years across Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee, Charlotte is our first market in the Carolinas. We are BBB-accredited with an A rating, a 22-time Consumers’ Choice Award winner, and we have completed more than 75,000 jobs, roughly one in four for a repeat customer.
Our people tend to stay. We promote from within as a matter of practice; we put real money and real hours behind developing our teams, and we recognize performance in ways people actually care about.
